Dealing with Cameron Estate Agents was quite honestly one of the most stressful periods of my entire life. I rented a property through them which was not fit for purpose from the outset. Shortly after moving in, I discovered the cooker hob did not work, TV aerial points did not work, bathroom extractor fan was broken, security light in garden did not work and the poorly fitted power sockets meant you couldn't actually insert any plugs. There were no windows in the bedroom (only a set of French doors) which meant you couldn't ventilate the room properly at night and this led to a huge damp issue which destroyed so many of my personal possessions. I had to throw away numerous pairs of shoes, some items of clothing, a chest of draws and my bed and mattress (the room was so damp there was mould growing everywhere!). It was a continuous battle to have these issues addressed and Cameron completely failed to manage the arrangement of repair work. Instead, they would just forward a number of a workman and have me arrange the repairs myself. Given there was so much wrong with the property, this became extremely time consuming and I found it very difficult to coordinate all of the repairs alongside my full time job. As managing agents this is surely Cameron's responsibility. The damp situation should never have got to a point where so many of my items were destroyed but Cameron just kept telling me they couldn't reach the landlord as he was out of the country so there was nothing they could do. In the meantime, I was left in an uninhabitable flat yet still paying full rent. In summary, Cameron were at fault as follows: Failed to provide me with a copy of the inventory and check-in report, breached the tenancy agreement by failing to provide me with proof of compliance as to the holding of my deposit, breached the Consumer Rights Act by failing to provide me with a list of fees/charges, breached the Data Protection Act by disclosing my personal information without seeking prior consent, Michelle Mellars providing me with false and misleading information in relation to my legal right to know who my Landlord is, letting out a property that is not in rentable condition from the outset and failing to manage the maintenance process and leaving me open to discourteous text messages from contractors. Despite their breaking of numerous laws, tenants in this country really have very little rights and there is no one to enforce action or hold the landlord/estate agent responsible. Despite this, I informed Cameron that I would be bringing various claims against them in a Court of law at which point they quite literally held me ransom. Despite the flat being uninhabitable due to severe mould issues (which is against the legal requirements of renting out a property), they would not release me early from my contract unless I signed to say I wouldn't bring any claims against them. Crooked, right? I couldn't continue to pay rent on a property I wasn't living in and so I was left no choice but to sign. Cameron backed me into a corner to protect their own interests - utterly despicable but I guess it shows they clearly knew they were in trouble. I was therefore unable to claim any compensation for all of the furniture and possessions I lost through their incompetence. Although I was not able to bring any legal claims against Cameron, I did report them to Trading Standards who later sent me an email to confirm they had uncovered a number of issues and would be enforcing action. All I can say is please think twice about using Cameron, particularly if you are a tenant. I would hate for anyone else to go through what I did.

Mar 27, 2018I'm afraid your standard copy and paste" response makes little sense in this matter and is a typical example of Cameron's lack of professionalism and respect for tenants. If you had read my review or looked into the matter at all, you will have seen that I did indeed exhaust Cameron's complaints process. Despite the Landlord offering to release me early from the contract (due to the property being unfit for purpose), Cameron refused to let me leave until I signed to say I would not bring any claims against CAMERON. This is completely unacceptable. The agreement was between myself and the landlord only. The fact you introduced an additional condition to protect your own selves is both highly inappropriate and unprofessional. In effect, you held me ransom in an inhabitable property until such time as I agreed not to bring any claims against you – notwithstanding the fact the Landlord had already agreed to release me. This kind of behaviour is wholly immoral and you should feel utterly ashamed of yourselves.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
